"LOST" Quote of the Week

Yes, for all two of you who read this and don't understand spanish, I decided (at least for now) to go with english blog titles.

Do you watch Lost? If you don't, I highly recommend borrowing season 1 on DVD, watching the whole thing this week, and sit down and hold on for next wednesday night. If you live in the States, I am pretty sure you personally know someone who has season 1 on DVD. Anyhow, it's excellent. But if you haven't been watching it from the beginning, it will probably seem lame. But they do tend to have some hilariously funny moments in the midst of the spooky weirdness. It usually comes from the mouth of 400 pound Hurley. (We can't figure out how they've been on the island for like 45 days and it looks like he's gained weight...)

"Yeah dude, dogs will eat anything. This one time, my dog, he broke into my piggy bank - I guess I put some smarties in there or something - and the next day he crapped out a-buck-thirty-five in nickels."


I had to go to the freakin' doctor today because I knew I am getting bronchitis. I possibly held out too long - this whole no medical insureance thing is not cool. But I got off, prescriptions and all, for right at $100. Could've been worse. I just wish I could go to the pharmacy and say "I have bronchitis, I need amoxicillin - 500mg, t.i.d., 10 days." The last two times I had bronchitis, I was in Honduras. The first time, I took meds given to me by the Simpson nurse in case of emergency. Then last year, I came home, opened one of the 60 or 70 boxes full of various medicines that were sitting in our living room, said, "Suyapa, can I have a bottle of this amoxicillin? I think I'm getting bronchitis." That was about the same time that Ivan found a huge bottle of liquid vitamin, and swallowed a spoonfull, proceeding to make gagging noises because of the sick flavor for the next ten minutes... Ahh, the big brother I sort-of never had...
